Alex Bowman failed to race his way into the Daytona 500 last week, but the plate tracks behave by their own set of rules. Without the capriciousness of the draft, he should have an easier time of making the show at Atlanta.

That is far from guaranteed with 48 entries on the preliminary entry list for the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500, but Tommy Baldwin Racing was one of the most pleasant surprises many times last year. Wait a week or two before committing resources, but watch Bowman closely this week. Feb 24 - 11:37 AM

Alex Bowman posted the fastest single lap in the fourth practice session for the Daytona 500. His top speed way 200.495 mph.

This underscores the potential value of dark horses at Daytona and Talladega. Feb 18 - 4:02 PM

Alex Bowman was better at Daytona than Talladega last year in four attempts on NASCAR’s restrictor-plate, superspeedways. He finished 23rd in the 500 and scored a remarkable 13th in the Coke Zero 400. His best effort at ‘Dega was a 28th in the spring.

With so many rookies in the field last year and several of them surviving into their sophomore seasons, it is impossible for the veterans to drop them out of the draft. This makes for some exciting dark horse possibilities for fantasy players. Feb 17 - 9:44 AM

Alex Bowman moves from the No. 23 BK Racing Team and joins Tommy Baldwin Racing in 2015. With such a large crop of rookies in 2014, simply surviving into a sophomore season is quite an accomplishment.

Bowman scored only three top-25s last year and was rarely one of the better fantasy values, but added experience and a fresh start should make him a little more relevant. The best characteristic of his rookie season was that he was still running at the end of 83 percent of his races. Feb 8 - 9:45 AM
